You know you're nursing a toddler when...

I don't know if a thread like this already exists, but here you go...

You get squirted in the eye with your own milk...
Some one pushes your nipple in and says "ding-dong!"
Someone puts a playdoh cookie cutter around your nipple and then tries to drink from it.
You've tandem nursed your toddler and a babydoll, stuffed animal, action figure, etc.

Gotta toddler nursing

DD 5/2008 nursed for 3 years and 3 months.

You know your nursing a toddler when he stops sucking and starts smaking his lips and laughing, like he is super excited to drink Mamma's milk.

Finally done !!!There are three reasons for breast-feeding: the milk is always at the right temperature; it comes in attractive containers; and the cat can't get it. ~Irena Chalmers

when your toddler wants to nurse, but you're doing the dishes so you say "just one minute" and you get "No! Move! Now!" as a response

Re: You know you're nursing a toddler when...

DD2 wants to nurse, so she puts on her cutest face, a big smile, bats her eyelashes, and says,
"Mama, can I please nurse?"
Me (usually busy with something else): "Just a minute, honey."
DD2 sticks out her lower lip, scrunches her eyebrows, pouting, and says,
"Ooooookayyy."
Then, when I tell her we can nurse, she jumps up and down excitedly and says "I get to nurse, I get to nurse!".
